Responsible AI Use Policy

AI in Service of Our Mission
We view AI as a tool that helps us inform, connect, and advance our professional communities. AI augments our work but does not replace the expertise of our journalists or professionals. Our use of AI will be guided by the same high standards of editorial integrity, accuracy, fairness, transparency, and accountability that apply to everything we do.

Human Guidance and Accountability
Our editorial teams will be involved in the development and oversight of all content created with the aid of artificial intelligence.

Transparency and Ethics
We will always disclose when AI contributes directly to anything we publish. We apply the same editorial rigor to the use of AI that we use for every other journalistic endeavor.

Respect for Privacy and Security
We do not feed confidential or proprietary information into non-approved AI tools. Our AI usage follows rigorous data privacy and security protocols to protect both our readers and our organization.

Creativity, Innovation & Caution
We encourage open-minded exploration of AI to power innovation in our platforms, streamline processes, and make our content more valuable to our communities. At the same time, we temper that curiosity with caution, recognizing AI's imperfections and limitations.

Enhanced Data Analysis
We may use AI tools to sift through large sets of data, identify trends, or perform translations. Our journalists then review these findings to ensure accuracy and relevance.

Automation of Routine Tasks
Rules-based natural language processing (NLP) and natural language generation (NLG) using editorially crafted templates and verified data sources may be used to automate routine content. Automated content will always be clearly labeled to ensure transparency and trust.

Recommendations and Summaries
AI may be used to recommend relevant articles to readers, generate initial headlines, and create previews—always subject to human oversight.

Accessibility and Innovation
We may leverage AI solutions like automated voice technology to make our content more accessible. We will continue to explore new AI innovations that uphold our editorial mission.

We believe that fair compensation for journalism, research, and analysis is essential to sustaining a vibrant media ecosystem. We therefore do not permit the unauthorized scraping or duplication of Arizent's proprietary content—whether by AI bots or for training AI models—without our explicit consent. Such infringement does not merely threaten the livelihoods of individual writers and researchers; it undermines the entire media industry by devaluing the very content that drives public discourse and professional progress. We partner only with AI vendors who explicitly commit to protecting our intellectual property and who agree never to use our content or data without permission.

Arizent's AI Council regularly evaluates new tools, monitors our AI usage, and updates our practices as technology evolves. Annual audits ensure adherence to our policy and help us continuously identify and address areas for improvement. We invite feedback and questions from our readers and the broader community.
